To get a better understanding of ecosystems
with high innovation potential, we take a closer
look at Cambridge (UK), Berlin (Germany), and
Barcelona (Spain).
The majority of companies in the domain of bioinformatics have been
founded in western Europe. Cambridge sums 27 companies, while Berlin
hosts 21 of them, closely followed by Barcelona, with 19 companies.
Our deep dive into the European innovation ecosystems with the highest
concentration of bioinformatics companies suggests that strong existing
science infrastructures and past successes in growing ventures in other
domains have contributed to the concentration and growth of ventures in
bioinformatics.
A critical aspect of our analysis is the capacity of the European innovation
ecosystems for attracting science entrepreneurs.
